That's a good idea. I'm hoping one of us gets the green and that person takes the wedding stuff suitcase thru thats packed with crap! Then the red light would only be regular luggage and small wedding stuff suitcase. Always trying to beat the system. lol We'll see.

Hey Neen, how did it go? Did everything get fixed?

Happy wedding day Sara!

Woohoo, happy wedding day Nicole! I can't wait to hear all about it when I get back from mine.

Oh my gosh, that's terrible! I would be totally freaking out too. I hope that you head to the other bridal shop and find something perfect that you love. Sending good vibes your way...

I don't have a template. The final version is on my brothers work computer. But, I got my inspiration and borrowed from these threads~ http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t14888 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t22485 http://bestdestinationwedding.com/forum/t21448 Quote: Originally Posted by Blkatz everything came out amazing!

Have a wonderful time, enjoy every moment and can't wait for your return with your review & pics. Oh, did you manage to pack everything? LOL....I saw that thread of yours & couldn't help but laugh with you as you were cracking up at the fact that you never knew you had all of that stuff! I hope you worked it all out! The bags came out awesome, but I really love the koozies! I think the guys are going to really like them. I think I have managed to pack everything. I have to go thru the house tomorrow and make sure I didn't forget anything. My FI still hasn't seen my suitcases. He's gonna think I'm nuts. Quote: Originally Posted by Mylee84 everything looks awesome. I love your DIY tanks i think i will copy them!! =) thanks for sharing Thanks. If you decide to make them and you have a Joanne Fabrics near you, I would look there for the iron ons. They have the words all spelled out already on one thing, so you just iron it on. Way easier than attempting to do individual letters! Thanks for all the compliments and well wishes ladies! I'll update you when I get home.

How do you have the time My sister gave me this adorable "sexy little bride" hoodie that I'm totally wearing to the airport. We are only allowed 2 bags with a total of 44 pounds. How the heck is that gonna work?!?!? I'm totally procrastinating and hanging out on BDW instead of cleaning my kitchen and getting the laundry done before we leave! Can't a little fairy come take care of it when I'm gone? I have managed to pack just about everything. I have limited FI to ONE suitcase and that's it! So, we should be able to manage all of our own luggage. Hey, does anyone know when we go thru customs in Mexico if we go thru as a couple or individually?

I think I came across it while I was googling for pictures of my resort, then just saved it to my desktop. I can email it to you if you end up needing it for anything. Just pm me!

Any idea how I put it on my computer so that I can put it on a cd? I'm so technologically challenged.

an instrumental version of Bittersweet Symphony to burn onto a cd? I checked itunes, but only found a string version and a karaoke version. I was really hoping for the regular version, just without words. TIA

Yamille, I'm with you that we usually send a registry gift for the shower and then money for the actual wedding. The last wedding was for two good friends of ours and we gave $300. I'd say in general we are between 150-300. On the otherside of that we were invited to a wedding where we aren't very close to the couple and while we sent a gift for the shower (which I didn't attend) we didn't send a wedding gift since we didn't attend and were probably only really invited as a courtesy.

I love the color and what a great price!

I'm Married!!!!! We took care of all the legal stuff today and NO ONE knows. So, I had to share with all of you! No pictures or anything. We actually had to do it in the middle of FI's work day. We didn't want to make a big deal out of it because I wanted Mexico to be our special day.

Hey girls, I just thought I'd update you and let you know that I stayed on the same pills and so far everything is great with them. No spotting or anything this month! And it worked out that I'm skipping the placebos and won't have my little friend for my wedding. Thanks for the advice. I'm glad I listened!
